It has a child lock mode so the settings and start button don’t do anything when the child lock is enabled.
But the power button still works and is next to the start button.
My 2 year old daughter pressed the power button 1 hour into the 1hr 30min cycle and now because everything is wet, starting the cycle again means it’s going to take nearly 4 hours.
They are also much, much better at cleaning clothes than front loaders. I don’t and won’t have kids and I am definitely replacing my 2-hours-to-do-a-shitty-job front loader.
